## Definition

**Decision API** — as used in this channel's material — is a **recently announced OpenAI offering** from around DevDay 2026 whose details were not yet publicly explained: attendees knew only that it had been announced _last week or something_, wanted to speak with the people who built it, and treated it as an **open question** the speaker intended to ask Sam about directly in an interview.

In the channel's DevDay 2026 floor coverage, the **Decision API** is a **recently announced** OpenAI offering — one attendee pegged it as announced *last week or something* — and it functions as the **big open question** of the event. Details remain thin: the coverage never explains what the API does, and attendees *want to talk to the people who actually built it* to find out.- The speaker calls the Decision API *a really interesting question* and plans to **press Sam on it directly** during an upcoming interview [^4ea892ae-0f54-5238-bece-6b5216fbd062].- It appears in the handout's “What You'll Explore” list as *a recent announcement*, standing alongside reactions to Dots and Cloud Code.- The closing reflection frames it among the event's *big questions*: fast shipping, half-finished tools, and a community critiquing it all in real time.- **Decision API** is treated as an announced-but-undocumented OpenAI feature in this material — no functionality is described.- Its role in the video is as a **question to ask**, not a tool to explore; the speaker intends to raise it with Sam in an interview.- Attendees' appetite for details signals it was announced *very recently*, leaving its purpose unresolved on the floor.
